I looked at CUPS and it showed no printers, then eventually it showed the laser printer. I used Synaptic to reinstall CUPS PDF and then that appeared, but I did have another pdf writer on the system which no longer shows up.

You may well be right in that an update to CUPS recently might have overwritten the configuration file, which is a nuisance.

    I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.04, and today, when I went to print a
    document, I turned my laser printer on and I was told it was a new
    printer. I checked my installed printers and everything in the
    list had vanished. It was able to install and configure the laser
    printer okay and let me use it, but the PDF writer has gone, as
    well as my inkjet.

    I suppose the inkjet will come back when I switch it on, but how
    do I get back the PDF writer I had before?

    And what could have caused Ubuntu to forget all about its printers?
